FAQs

Does this kit come with drippers?

No, this kit includes the piping and connectors only. You will need to purchase your preferred emitters or drippers separately.

What is the size of the pipe?

The pipe features a 4mm internal diameter (ID) and a 6mm outer diameter (OD).

Can I connect this to my existing garden hose?

Yes, the kit includes a universal click-lock style adaptor specifically for standard garden hose connections.

Can this be used for greenhouse watering?

Absolutely, the flexible nature of the 4mm pipe is perfect for running along greenhouse staging or hanging systems.

How do I secure the pipe to the ground?

The kit does not include ground stakes, so you may need to purchase separate pipe pegs or stakes if you wish to pin the tubing to the soil.

Is the material resistant to sunlight?

The black tubing is designed for outdoor use and is generally resistant to UV rays, though it is good practice to cover it with mulch where possible.

Troubleshooting

Pipe is difficult to slide onto the barbed fitting

Dip the end of the pipe in hot water for a few seconds to soften the plastic before pushing it onto the barb.

Leakage at the connection point

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully over the barb and that the pipe end has not been stretched or torn during installation.

Pipe keeps kinking at corners

Use the provided elbow connectors instead of bending the pipe, or use garden stakes to pin the pipe in a wider curve.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 50-meter length allows for large-scale garden coverage
  • High level of customization for complex plant layouts
  • Includes essential adapters for standard garden hose connectivity
  • Flexible material is easy to cut and route through tight spaces

Cons

  • Emitters, sprayers, or drippers must be purchased separately
  • Requires manual assembly of the irrigation network
  • No integrated pressure regulator included in the kit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin installation, ensure your garden hose click-lock connector is free of debris. When attaching fittings, utilize the 'warm water trick': dip the end of the 4mm pipe into a cup of hot water for 10-15 seconds to soften the material, which makes sliding it over the barbed fittings significantly easier. The system is compatible with standard 4mm internal diameter (ID) micro irrigation components. To maintain the system, flush the lines at the start of each growing season to clear out sediment, and disconnect the main hose adapter during freezing winter months to prevent cracking.
